- the present invention relates to a riveting apparatus, and more particularly, to a riveting apparatus wherein a riveting operation is implemented in a manner such that hot air is discharged through discharge holes defined through a forming tool in axial and radial directions to melt an end of a rivet, the forming tool is then lowered to apply pressure to the end of the rivet and form the end of the rivet into the shape of a head, and cooling air is supplied to the forming tool and a connection pipe connected to the upper end of the forming tool to decrease the temperature of the forming tool and thereby cool the end of the rivet formed into the shape of a head and brought into contact with the forming tool.
- a riveting method is used in which a hole is defined through the plastic members adjacent to the edge of the plastic members, a rivet formed with a head on a first end thereof is inserted through the hole, and then a second end of the rivet is formed into the shape of a head.
- the rivets are made of synthetic resin, differently from the case in which the rivets are made of a metallic material, a riveting operation is implemented in a manner such that synthetic resin is melted, one end of each rivet is formed into the shape of a head by applying pressure using a forming tool, and then the rivet is cooled.
- a conventional riveting apparatus as shown in FIG. 1 has been disclosed in the art.
- a heater 12 having an electric heating wire therein is coupled to the upper end of a forming tool 14 which functions to form an end of a rivet 1 into the shape of a head. If electric power is supplied, the heater 12 heats the forming tool 14 so that the temperature of the forming tool 14 is increased.
- the forming tool 14 In the riveting apparatus, due to the fact that the forming tool 14 itself is heated, after the forming tool 14 is heated, the forming tool 14 is lowered such that the heating and the forming of the end of the rivet 1 can be simultaneously implemented.
- the conventional riveting apparatus which is constructed in such a way as to melt the end of the rivet 1 using the forming tool 14 , provides the advantages of having a simple construction and being able to be fabricated at small cost.
- the conventional riveting apparatus suffers from drawbacks because, since the heating and the application of pressure are simultaneously implemented, pressure is likely to be applied when the end of the rivet 1 is not completely melted, and thereby, the end of the rivet 1 is likely to be inadequately formed into the shape of a head. Also, since the pressure can be transmitted to plate members 2 , the plate members 2 are likely to be deformed or whitening can occur in the plate members 2 , so that the quality of an end product deteriorates.
- the temperature of the forming tool 14 slowly decreases upon cooling, it takes a long time to finish the riveting operation.
- FIG. 2( a ) In another conventional riveting apparatus constructed as shown in FIG. 2( a ), instead of directly heating a forming tool as described above, hot air is supplied around a rivet 1 to melt the rivet 1 , and then a forming tool 24 is lowered to form an end of the rivet 1 into the shape of a head.
- a hot air supply unit 22 for supplying hot air is lowered to surround the end of the rivet 1 and then supplies hot air around the end of the rivet 1 . Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the hot air supply unit 22 is raised as shown in FIG. 2( c ), and a punch, to which the forming tool 24 is coupled, is lowered to form the end of the rivet 1 into the shape of a head.

- the conventional riveting apparatus provides an advantage in that, since it has a simple construction and can form the end of the rivet 1 into the shape of a head using hot air, the quality of a riveting operation can be elevated.
- the conventional riveting apparatus encounters a problem in that, because the size of the housing which surrounds the forming tool 34 and the heater 32 can not be increased beyond a certain size limit, the size of the heater 32 disposed in the housing is restricted and the amount of hot air for heating the end of the rivet 1 is limited, whereby a time required for melting the end of the rivet 1 can not but be extended.

Abstract
Description
- This a continuation of pending International Patent Application PCT/KR2008/006511 filed on Nov. 5, 2008, which designates the United States and claims priority of Korean Patent Applications No. 10-2007-0112060 filed on Nov. 5, 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a riveting apparatus, and more particularly, to a riveting apparatus wherein a riveting operation is implemented in a manner such that hot air is discharged through discharge holes defined through a forming tool in axial and radial directions to melt an end of a rivet, the forming tool is then lowered to apply pressure to the end of the rivet and form the end of the rivet into the shape of a head, and cooling air is supplied to the forming tool and a connection pipe connected to the upper end of the forming tool to decrease the temperature of the forming tool and thereby cool the end of the rivet formed into the shape of a head and brought into contact with the forming tool.
- As is generally known in the art, when a plurality of plastic members are stacked and fastened together as in materials used in the interior of vehicles, a riveting method is used in which a hole is defined through the plastic members adjacent to the edge of the plastic members, a rivet formed with a head on a first end thereof is inserted through the hole, and then a second end of the rivet is formed into the shape of a head.
- In the case of materials used in the interior of vehicles, since the rivets are made of synthetic resin, differently from the case in which the rivets are made of a metallic material, a riveting operation is implemented in a manner such that synthetic resin is melted, one end of each rivet is formed into the shape of a head by applying pressure using a forming tool, and then the rivet is cooled.
- In order to implement the riveting operation, a conventional riveting apparatus as shown in
FIG. 1 has been disclosed in the art. In the conventional riveting apparatus, aheater 12 having an electric heating wire therein is coupled to the upper end of a formingtool 14 which functions to form an end of arivet 1 into the shape of a head. If electric power is supplied, theheater 12 heats the formingtool 14 so that the temperature of the formingtool 14 is increased. - In the riveting apparatus, due to the fact that the forming
tool 14 itself is heated, after the formingtool 14 is heated, the formingtool 14 is lowered such that the heating and the forming of the end of therivet 1 can be simultaneously implemented. - The conventional riveting apparatus, which is constructed in such a way as to melt the end of the
rivet 1 using the formingtool 14, provides the advantages of having a simple construction and being able to be fabricated at small cost. However, the conventional riveting apparatus suffers from drawbacks because, since the heating and the application of pressure are simultaneously implemented, pressure is likely to be applied when the end of therivet 1 is not completely melted, and thereby, the end of therivet 1 is likely to be inadequately formed into the shape of a head. Also, since the pressure can be transmitted toplate members 2, theplate members 2 are likely to be deformed or whitening can occur in theplate members 2, so that the quality of an end product deteriorates. - Further, because the temperature of the forming
tool 14 slowly decreases upon cooling, it takes a long time to finish the riveting operation. - In another conventional riveting apparatus constructed as shown in
FIG. 2( a), instead of directly heating a forming tool as described above, hot air is supplied around arivet 1 to melt therivet 1, and then a formingtool 24 is lowered to form an end of therivet 1 into the shape of a head. - In this riveting apparatus, if
plate members 2 and arivet 1 reach a preset position, as shown inFIG. 2( b), a hotair supply unit 22 for supplying hot air is lowered to surround the end of therivet 1 and then supplies hot air around the end of therivet 1. Thereafter, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the hotair supply unit 22 is raised as shown inFIG. 2( c), and a punch, to which the formingtool 24 is coupled, is lowered to form the end of therivet 1 into the shape of a head. Next, cooling air is supplied to cool the end of therivet 1 which was formed into the shape of a head. - If hot air is used just as described above, since the forming
tool 24 can be lowered to form the end of therivet 1 after the end of therivet 1 has sufficiently melted, the quality of the riveting operation can be improved upon when compared to the case ofFIG. 1 in which the heating and the forming are simultaneously implemented. - Nevertheless, this conventional riveting apparatus has a drawback in that, since a driving unit for lowering and raising the hot
air supply unit 22 and a driving unit for lowering and raising the formingtool 24 should be separately provided, the construction of the riveting apparatus becomes complicated and the fabrication cost of the riveting apparatus increases. Also, since the forming of the end of therivet 1 is implemented by raising the hotair supply unit 22 after the end of therivet 1 is heated by lowering the hotair supply unit 22, the time required to implement the riveting operation is extended. - Still another conventional riveting apparatus as shown in
FIG. 3 has been developed by KIEFEL of Germany. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , in this conventional riveting apparatus, aheater 32 is coupled to the upper end of a formingtool 34, and theheater 32 and the formingtool 34 are surrounded by a housing. As air is supplied into the space defined in the housing, the air heated by theheater 32 is supplied toward an end of arivet 1 to melt the end of therivet 1, and then, the formingtool 34 is lowered to form the end of therivet 1 into the shape of a head. - The conventional riveting apparatus provides an advantage in that, since it has a simple construction and can form the end of the
rivet 1 into the shape of a head using hot air, the quality of a riveting operation can be elevated. - Nonetheless, the conventional riveting apparatus encounters a problem in that, because the size of the housing which surrounds the forming
tool 34 and theheater 32 can not be increased beyond a certain size limit, the size of theheater 32 disposed in the housing is restricted and the amount of hot air for heating the end of therivet 1 is limited, whereby a time required for melting the end of therivet 1 can not but be extended. In particular, since hot air is supplied only to the outer surface of the end of therivet 1, a lengthy period is required to melt the end of therivet 1 up to the inside thereof. Further, when cooling therivet 1, because the formingtool 34 and theheater 32 should also be cooled, the cooling time is lengthened. On the other hand, when heating therivet 1, because the formingtool 34 and theheater 32 should be heated again, energy loss increases and it takes a long time to completely finish the riveting operation. - Accordingly, the present invention has been made in an effort to solve the problems occurring in the related art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a riveting apparatus which can improve upon the quality of a riveting operation, increase energy efficiency, shorten the time required for riveting, and improve productivity.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a riveting apparatus which has a simple construction and can be easily fabricated at small cost.
- In order to achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a riveting apparatus suitable for fastening a plurality of plate members by forming an end of a rivet, made of synthetic resin, into the shape of a head through heating and pressing, the apparatus comprising a hot air pipe for supplying hot air; a connection pipe having the shape of a hollow tube and coupled to a lower end of the hot air pipe; a forming tool having a configuration in which a peripheral portion and a center portion project downward and portions existing therebetween are curved upward, defined with discharge holes which extend in axial and radial directions, and coupled to a lower end of the connection pipe so that hot air having passed through the connection pipe can be discharged through the discharge holes to heat the end of the rivet to thereby allow the forming tool to form the end of the rivet into the shape of a head; a moving unit coupled to the hot air pipe or the connection pipe to move the forming tool upward and downward; and a guide configured to surround the forming tool so that hot air discharged through the discharge holes, which are defined in the forming tool and extend in the radial directions, can be directed toward the end of the rivet.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, a plurality of cooling fins are formed on an outer surface of the connection pipe.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, a plurality of grooves are defined on a lower end of the guide so that hot air can be discharged to the outside after heating the end of the rivet.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, a cold air pipe for supplying cold air is connected to the guide to cool the forming tool and the connection pipe after the end of the rivet is formed into the shape of a head.
- According to still another aspect of the present invention, the guide is installed in a manner such that it surrounds the connection pipe and can be moved upward and downward on the connection pipe, and a spring is disposed on the guide such that the guide presses the plate members by virtue of elastic force of the spring when the forming tool is lowered.
- According to a still further aspect of the present invention, at least one stripper is coupled to an outer surface of the guide to project beyond the lower end of the guide so that the lower end can be prevented from being brought into direct contact with a surface of a plate member.
- Thanks to the above features of the present invention, advantages are provided in that, since a riveting operation is implemented such that hot air is supplied and is passed through discharge holes defined in a forming tool to heat a rivet and then an end of the rivet is formed into the shape of a head, the quality of the riveting operation can be improved upon, energy efficiency can be increased, and heating and cooling times can be shortened, whereby productivity can be improved.
- Further, because the riveting apparatus has a simple construction, it can be easily fabricated at small cost, whereby economic viability can be ensured.

-
FIG. 4 is a sectional view illustrating a forming tool and other component parts of a riveting apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , the riveting apparatus according to the present invention generally includes ahot air pipe 200, aconnection pipe 100, a formingtool 300, a moving unit, and aguide 500. - First, the
hot air pipe 200 will be described. Thehot air pipe 200 has the shape of a hollow tube and defines a path through which hot air flows. - The
connection pipe 100 also has the shape of a hollow tube, is coupled to the lower end of thehot air pipe 200, and defines a path through which hot air having passed through thehot air pipe 200 flows. - In order to promote heat transfer, the
connection pipe 100 is made of a metallic material such as aluminum, which has high heat conductivity. - Next, the forming
tool 300 will be described. The formingtool 300 is coupled to the lower end of theconnection pipe 100 and has the shape of a flat disc. A plurality ofdischarge holes 310 are defined through the formingtool 300 such that acenter hole 310 is defined through the center portion of the formingtool 300 to extend in an axial direction andradial holes 310 are defined to extend in radial directions and communicate with thecenter hole 310. - Hot air supplied through the
connection pipe 100 is discharged through thedischarge holes 310 which are defined in the formingtool 300 and extend in the axial and radial directions. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , the formingtool 300 has a configuration in which a peripheral portion and a center portion project downward and portions existing therebetween are curved upward, such that, when forming arivet 1, the upper end of therivet 1 can be rolled outward by the curved portions of the formingtool 300 to define the shape of a head. - It is preferred that the forming
tool 300 be made of a metallic material having high heat conductivity so as to be easily heated and cooled. - The moving unit will be described below. The moving unit is coupled to the
hot air pipe 200 or theconnection pipe 100 such that the formingtool 300 can be moved upward and downward under the action of aspring 520. In the present embodiment, as shown inFIG. 4 , the moving unit includeshydraulic cylinders 410 and atransmission plate 420 for transmitting the upward and downward moving force produced by thehydraulic cylinders 410 to thehot air pipe 200. - The reason why the
transmission plate 420 is used resides in that a plurality of formingtools 300 are provided in the riveting apparatus to simultaneously form a plurality ofrivets 1 and are moved together upward and downward by moving thetransmission plate 420. - However, instead of raising and lowering the forming
tool 300 using thetransmission plate 420 as described above, it can be envisaged that thehydraulic cylinders 410 can be directly connected tohot air pipes 200 orconnection pipes 100 which are placed over the formingtools 300 and that air cylinders, cams, etc. can be used in place of thehydraulic cylinders 410. - The
guide 500 will be described below. Theguide 500 functions to surround the formingtool 300 so that the hot air discharged through the discharge holes 310 defined in the formingtool 300 can be directed toward therivet 300. To this end, theguide 500 is formed such that the diameter thereof gradually decreases from the upper end toward the lower end thereof so that hot air can impinge on theguide 500 and flow toward therivet 1. - A cooling
air pipe 530, through which cold air is supplied, is connected to a side of theguide 500 so that cooling air can be supplied through the coolingair pipe 530 to cool the formingtool 300 after therivet 1 is formed into the shape of a head. At this time, when cooling therivet 1 by supplying cooling air into theguide 500, in order to ensure that a cooling time is shortened and the lower end of theconnection pipe 100 is also quickly cooled together with the formingtool 300, a plurality of coolingfins 110 are formed on the outer surface of theconnection pipe 100 adjacent to the lower end thereof. Theguide 500 is formed to also surround the coolingfins 110. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , a plurality ofgrooves 540 are defined on the lower end of theguide 500 so that hot air or cold air having heated or cooled therivet 1 and the formingtool 300 can be discharged to the outside through thegrooves 540. Due to this fact, the hot air or cold air having passed on therivet 1 and through the formingtool 300 can be discharged to the outside, and newly supplied hot air or cold air can be continuously directed to therivet 1 so that therivet 1 can be quickly heated or cooled. - The
guide 500 is coupled to theconnection pipe 100 in a manner such that it can be moved upward and downward. Thespring 520 is disposed on the upper end of theguide 500. Theguide 500 is structured to surround the formingtool 300 while being biased downward by thespring 520. - A plurality of
strippers 510 are coupled adjacent to the lower end of theguide 500 to prevent the lower end of theguide 500 from being brought into direct contact with aplate member 2 when the formingtool 300 is lowered. - If the
guide 500 is brought into direct contact with theplate member 2, a portion of theplate member 2, which comes into contact with theguide 500, is likely to be melted by the heat from theguide 500, and as a result, a flaw can be caused. Thestrippers 510 are used to prevent this problem. - The
strippers 510 project downward from the lower end of theguide 500. Therefore, when the formingtool 300 is lowered, thestrippers 510 are first brought into contact with theplate member 2 and thereby prevent theguide 500 from being brought into direct contact with theplate member 2. At this time, as the formingtool 300 is continuously lowered with theguide 500 stopped, thespring 520 is compressed to accumulate elastic force. - When the
strippers 510 are brought into contact with theplate member 2, thestrippers 510 press and fixedly hold theplate member 2 by virtue of the elastic force of thespring 520 so that theplate member 2 is prevented from being moved while therivet 1 is formed. - Thereafter, if the forming
tool 300 is raised, theguide 500 is kept stopped by the elastic force of thespring 520 while the formingtool 300 is moved a predetermined distance. Then, when the formingtool 300 is raised and exceeds the predetermined distance, theguide 500 is also raised together with the formingtool 300. - Hereinbelow, the functions and the effects of the riveting apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.
-
FIG. 6 is a sectional view illustrating the state in which therivet 1 is heated by the riveting apparatus according to the present invention, andFIGS. 7 and 8 are sectional views illustrating the state in which the end of therivet 1 is formed into the shape of a head by the formingtool 300. - First, referring to
FIG. 6 , hot air is supplied with the formingtool 300 placed above therivet 1. Hot air having passed through thehot air pipe 200 and theconnection pipe 100 is discharged in axial and radial directions through the discharge holes 310 defined in the formingtool 300. At this time, the hot air discharged in the axial direction heats the inner surface of therivet 1, and the hot air discharged in the radial directions impinges theguide 500, heats the outer surface of therivet 1 and flows then to the outside. - When the
rivet 1 is heated for a predetermined time, the moving unit is driven, and the formingtool 300 is lowered. In the state in which the formingtool 300 is brought into contact with therivet 1, the formingtool 300 presses the upper end of therivet 1. By this fact, the upper end of therivet 1 is rolled outward by the curved portions formed on the lower end of the formingtool 300 and is gradually formed into the shape of a head as shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 . - The
guide 500, which is being lowered together with the formingtool 300, is stopped when thestrippers 510 are brought into contact with theplate member 2. Then, as the formingtool 300 is continuously lowered, thespring 520 is compressed to accumulate elastic force. - Thereafter, when the forming
tool 300 is fully lowered and the forming of therivet 1 is completed, the supply of hot air is interrupted, and cold air is supplied through thecold air pipe 530 connected to the side of theguide 500. The cold air flows on the coolingfins 110 of theconnection pipe 100 and the formingtool 300 and thereby cools theconnection pipe 100 and the formingtool 300. In this way, therivet 1 which is coming into contact with the formingtool 300 is cooled. - Once the cooling of the
rivet 1 is completed, the supply of cold air is interrupted and the formingtool 300 is raised. When the formingtool 300 is raised beyond the predetermined distance, theguide 500 is raised along with the formingtool 300. - If the forming
tool 300 is completely raised, theplate members 2 which have undergone the riveting operation are removed from the riveting apparatus, and new plate members are positioned in place to be ready for the riveting operation.
